David Meade tells the U.K.'s Daily Express newspaper that on April 23, the sun and moon will be in Virgo, as will Jupiter, which represents the Messiah.

For a certain branch of evangelical Christianity, Revelation 12:1–2 describes the beginning of what is known as the Rapture and the second coming of Christ.

The passage reads: “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.”

In the passage, the woman is represented as Virgo.

According to Meade, the alignment represents “the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” marking the Rapture, the belief that Christ will bring the faithful into paradise prior to a period of tribulation on earth that precedes the end of time.

Meade said he believes the so-called Planet X, which is also known as Nibiru, will appear above the sky on the April date, causing volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes.

NASA repeatedly has said Planet X is a hoax.

Speaking to the Express, Meade described it as “a unique once-in-a-century sign exactly as depicted in the 12th chapter of Revelation. This is our time marker.”

However, author Jonathan Sarfati remains skeptical.

He told the Express: “As usual with any astrology (or Christian adaptations of it), one cherry-picks the stars that fit the desired conclusion.

“There is nothing to suggest that April 23 is a momentous date for biblical prophecy, and Christians need to be careful about being drawn into such sensationalist claims.

“We won’t know the day or the hour — so we should be prepared at all times!”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Question, is everyone that works for Fox News, a Tin foiler and/or a woo-believer?

Also, the commentary section is filled with cancer, beware.

Fun fact: I saw someone posting that it's fake and that Religion is a scam and comment was removed within 15 sec.

Well, given all the predictions that the rupture rapture, Nibiru, end of the Mayan calendar or whatever show that the world will end on a particular date that have failed to materialize in the last few years, I'm sure that this one is going to be right. Or maybe it will be the next one, or the next one or ...

Don't those rapture weirdos believe that before Jesus comes back, the antichrist will come and amass a lot of worldly power, deceive people into thinking he's the good guy even though he's only in it for himself, and mark everything with his personal symbol?
Maybe Fox is trying to distance itself from a certain narcissistic president who likes to put his name on everything?

According to religious CTers, the antichrist is our current Pope. So, yeah...

I would suggest to doomsayers it would be easier to say the world will end tomorrow and just keep saying that. Ultimately they will be right.

Poor nancy, relegated to a single date!

From memory, she started with the may date, then there were several more in that year, 2004,2005,2007,2010,2012 several times,2015,2016 and of course its still 'soon'

It's always been a source of wonderment to me how a prophesy completely and laughably wrong can somehow not taint a prophet. The world is still full of Seventh-Day Adventists despite the "great disappointment" that the world did not end, as William Miller so elaborately predicted, in 1841.

I can't find the AP story directly but I did find this: "Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling through Latin America and Africa to spread the news outside the U.S," the AP reported. Live Science

Nemesis is a hypothetical red dwarf or brown dwarf, originally postulated in 1984 to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at intervals of 26 million years

No one day the world will end, perhaps not with the way the current group of prognosticators publish but it will end.

In about five billion years, when the sun expands.
